Supplier Due Diligence Checklist
Use this before payment or onboarding.
Buyer Evidence Note
A supplier asks to switch the transaction currency, such as USD into RMB, HKD, EUR, or another currency. The buyer can turn this request into a dated evidence file.
A supplier asks to switch the transaction currency, such as USD into RMB, HKD, EUR, or another currency. The buyer should write down the decision before asking for more documents. The decision may be payment release, production approval, shipment release, claim settlement, or supplier onboarding. That first line gives the file a job. For currency change request review review, it keeps the discussion tied to a commercial step instead of drifting into a general supplier conversation.
Use direct questions around old currency, new currency, exchange rate, invoice change, and refund basis. Ask who owns the answer, which order it covers, and what changes if the answer turns out to be wrong.
Strong proof usually includes old PI, revised PI, rate note, finance approval, and supplier explanation. It should match the legal supplier, order stage, product version, and commercial promise.
Escalate if the supplier changes the entity, avoids dates, sends cropped photos, refuses to name the responsible person, or asks the buyer to move before proof arrives.
End with one sentence a colleague can act on. State the approved step, the remaining gap, and the condition for reopening the file.
Before approving china supplier currency change request review, ask what the supplier proved, what still lacks support, and which order step depends on the answer. If the file only contains a reply and no dated proof, keep the issue open. A buyer should be able to show why payment, shipment, rework, or settlement moved.
A known contact, neat PDF, or quick message can lower pressure, but none of them proves authority by itself. Match the supplier claim to the legal entity, order record, product or document, and named approver. If one link is missing, mark the shortcut as weak evidence instead of letting it close the file.
Give each team the part it can act on. Procurement needs the term change. Finance needs the payment exposure. Quality needs the product or batch proof. Logistics needs the document or handoff issue. After-sales needs the claim boundary. A handoff written this way keeps the file useful after the first reviewer steps away.
Reopen the review when the supplier changes the company name, bank route, exporter, production site, product version, delivery date, or claim remedy. The earlier approval covered an earlier fact pattern. A changed transaction deserves a new record before the buyer relies on the old answer.
Add a short case note at the end. Name the supplier request, the records checked, the weak point, and the money or customer commitment at stake. A manager should understand the issue by reading that note, without asking procurement to retell the entire conversation.
Label the file with supplier name, order number, issue date, and decision owner. That label helps the buyer find the record during payment review, shipment pressure, warranty negotiation, or a later dispute. It also stops another team member from restarting the same review from zero.
Write the approval in narrow terms: release this payment after the named record arrives, approve this shipment for the listed quantity, or accept this remedy for the current claim only. Narrow wording keeps one decision from becoming permission for a different request later.
Close the record with a decision and one open issue, if any. The buyer does not need a showy report. The buyer needs a file that connects the supplier claim to documents, named people, dates, and the next commercial step.
China Supplier Currency Change Request Review should leave one plain-language note for the buyer's internal file. Write the supplier's request in one sentence, then write the buyer's risk in another. Add the document or message that carries the strongest proof, and name the missing item that would make the decision safer. This note should read like something procurement can send to finance or quality on a busy day. It should not sound like a policy essay. It should tell the next reviewer what to do before money, goods, documents, or customer promises move.
